Review of 'The Good Sister' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
another unreliable narrator - again due to neurodiversity: this time it isn't Asperger's as the culprit, it's sensory overload.
another nasty mother and abusive childhood - or least a contrived one. heck even another set of siblings. (seriously, reading this immediately after Eleanor Oliphant is Fine makes for plot overlap and confusion) But given the penchant of neurodiversity to achieve the popular unreliable narrator - it IS getting tedious and repetitious. Toward the end of the novel it seems half the toddlers at a library storytime are also suffering from sensory overload: the whole world is embracing their special preciousness and there's likely another hundred autistic tales left to tell. ugg. That said, the back of the book had praises from Liane Moriarty so I'll give this author another chance.
